John set out to make a good breakfast for his nephew. It was a Saturday morning and he always let him sleep in. He's been caring for him for the past 15 years since his parents past away. It was a second chance so it wasn't gonna say no when he got the call. Once the food was on the table he went and knocked on the door. "Buddy, time to get up, foods ready." He walked back down and started eating.
The teenage boy moaned at being woke up. He stretched and yawned. He laid there a moment before getting out of bed. Running his fingers through his hair he walked down to the kitchen. "Thanks uncle John." He said and sat down to eat.
"Anytime bud." He smiled at him.
"Um... Can I ask Megan over later?"
"You have a girlfriend now?"
"No!" He sighed. "You know she's my best friend."
"I know...sometimes I think you talk to her more about things then me or even like hanging out with her more then me... Am I not cool enough for you?" John teased the boy.
"You know that's not true...your the only one that knows me for me."
"I'd do anything for you." John walked by and ruffled his hair.
The boy kept eating and stopped suddenly, his hands went to the sides of his face, different flashes of lights, sounds, voices, people all flashed in front of him. He moaned in pain.
John whipped around, he hated seeing him go through this. "It'll be ok...just relax." He said to him as he held on to him.
Once it was over he opened his eyes. "Things are starting to get bad."
John kind of knew what he meant. "What can I do?"
He looked up at him. "I need to find my parents."
John was shocked, he's asked before about them, but this is a first. "William...I can't do that...it's not safe for you or them."
"Uncle John, it's going to get bad, with it with out us together... But we have a better chance together. Please..."
Just then the phone rang.
"Agent Doggett, it's Skinner."
It had been a long time since he heard that voice. How long had it been? Since 2002. Monica had warned him that Skinner would never call unless the situation was critical. "Sir...Walter, it's been...how long?"
Since Skinner's recent confrontation with the Smoking Man, he'd changed clothes and picked up a couple of burner phones. He was amazed places even still sold them in this day and age with the existance of smart phones. Skinner stood outside of his townhouse. "Listen John, the smoking man, the sonofabitch is alive."
John laughed. "The smoking man? You mean the man that Agent Scully and Mulder went to meet in New Mexico in 2002? The same man inside the pueblos we watched get blown apart and demolished when we escaped? That's impossible, sir."
Skinner closed his eyes and sighed. "It IS, but he's very much alive...he even...dammit John, he even has Monica working as his puppet."
John's blood went cold. "Monica? Monica Reyes?" They went their separate ways only a few years after the X Files were closed. It had been years...but he knew Monica. Monica wouldn't betray them. "No. Monica wouldn't do that."
Skinner sighed. "I'm sorry, John, but it appears she has been for some time. She quit the bureau in 2005...went entirely off the grid. She made it impossible for anyone to find her, including Mulder and Scully."
There had to be another explanation, John knew it. Monica was the one who helped Jeffrey Spender with the adoption and made it possible for him to find William when he was in danger. "He came to me too, John. They both did...he wanted me to take the same deal he offered Monica."
John sighed. "Last I heard from her, she said she was going to take care of her dad. I haven't even heard from her in ever." he sat down across from William.
"John, that's not the only reason I'm calling. Seems like everyone is looking for William. Which means your both in danger." skinner said.
"I can't take him anywhere right now he keeps having these like series of spells. We never know when they will happen."
Skinner thought a moment. "You mean like seizures?" he asked.
"That's exactly what it's like. He scares me every time it happens."
"That's what's been going on with Scully too." Skinner informed him.
"Are Mulder and scully looking for him." John stood up and walked to the other room as he said that.
"Of course they are, but so are the others John."
"He even tells me when he has one.. He sees a red headed women a dark haired man. Things that are going to happen and lots of voices."
"Scully says she sees William." skinner informed him.
"Well, then we need to meet them," Doggett started. Will started towards John. "I will give you an address...but remember, you didn't get this information from me." After Skinner gave John the address, he threw the phone against the concrete and smashed it.
John looked at the phone. "Hello?" He frowned and put the receiver down. His mind was spinning between the news about Monica and possibly seeing her again. And of course, taking William to Mulder & Scully.
"Uncle John, we have to go...please."
John looked over at him and sighed. He knew William was reading his mind right then. "You got the address...we have to go. Your girlfriend is fine...she's working with my grandfather, but she's doing it to protect me...they both are," he said and John knew he was referring to Skinner. He still couldn't get used to William doing that.
John looked at him. "and what about your school young man?" he asked.
William looked at him. "Uncle John... Please.. We need to go." he glanced toward the back of the house. He knew someone was on their way. "it's not safe here. Let's get a bag and go. It will be ok but we do have to go." he put a hand on John's arm.
John nodded. "Let's do this then." they both headed up to their rooms and grabbed a bag of clothes. John put Williams info into his bag too since that was important. He grabbed his badge and a few other papers. William got what he needed and texted Megan and told her not to say anything to anyone but he had to go and he'd text her later but to also delet the message once read. He walked out. "so.. Where are we going to uncle John? What did uncle Walter have to say?"
John looked over at Will. "Did you pack for at least 5 days? We're going to Virginia. Driving is our safest bet right now with TSA being what it is. And of course, the bad guys being after you."
Will nodded. "I-I looked up my parents not long ago, my mom worked at a hospital after the FBI and now she's back at the FBI with my dad."
John nodded. He hadn't seen them in years, but he had hoped they were okay after they ran for their lives all those years ago. "Let me get some things packed, Bud. I'm glad you got your license recently though. I don't have to do all that driving myself," he chuckled.
"I will drive first then if you want... And is there something you need me to get to help you?" he asked as he followed him around. He made sure to get some drinks for them and the extra money they kept hid. "Uncle Walter is right... And if we don't leave soon we will..." he was on his knees again he was seeing his dad and mom in danger and uncle Walter also being in danger. His eyes were closed as images went by.
John ran over to Will. "William, son are you are you okay?" It wasn't the first time John saw him like this, but it scared him each time. "What do you see Bud?"
William took a deep breath, not looking up. "It's my mom." John took a deep breath. While he didn't have any lingering romantic feelings for Scully, he still cared for her like a sister. "What do you see? Is she okay?"
William took a few shaky breaths and looked at him. "um... Can we get going? I need to... Um.. Think."
Meanwhile at the FBI Mulder and Scully were working a case about doubles. Of course Scully was being her old self. She's been doing better the past few days. Not many spells like before. She still gets them but hasn't been telling Mulder. She had just laid down on her bed to get some rest. She felt weird and had a mini spell, she swears she seen herself. Was it something to come she wasn't sure but it scared her. She walked into where Mulder was. "Would you hold me? This all has me shaken." she said to him.
Scully wasn't sure how to tell Mulder about what she was feeling. That Judy woman had really gotten under her skin with her "old hag" comments. She knew it shouldn't have bothered her. It was 2018 and women weren't normally defined by their reproductive abilities nowadays. Whether or not one had children was a very personal decision and children didn't define their success. However, she felt as if that choice was taken from her. She was stripped of her reproductive rights, then to be given a miracle that was quickly taken away. In a way, she felt like she was responsible for Mulder's loss as well. "What if you want more kids, Mulder?" She had said suddenly.
"Do you want another baby, Scully?" He had asked.
She sighed. "I would have loved to have at least one more, but that's out of the question now...though I haven't quite gone through menopause just yet, the first one was a miracle." They talked for what seemed like an eternity about their work and what they would do when they got old. "What are we gonna do, Scully?" She smiled back at him. "I can think of something."
MULDER raised an eye brow at her, he had a cute little evil grin on his face. He could always read her so well, when she rolled over his hand slid from her and now laid on her stomach. He let his fingers dance across her belly as he leaned in and kissed her. It had been to long since they have kissed. Something he's missed. It was so warm and welcoming.
They spent hours pleasuring each other. He was memorizing everything she did, every noise he got her to make, every smile she smiled when she liked what he was doing.
Scully was on fire, it'd been forever since she has felt this kind of love and attention. Her fingers raked over his back, she arched her back and moaned out loud. "Oh yes fox...there...oh yes ...YES!"she screamed as spasms shock her body. Just as she was finally coming down from it, she had another spell. Visions went flashing by, hospital, lots of people. Then as it cleared, William. Then it stopped.
After Scully came, he could tell something wasn't right. She seemed to lose her balance and nearly fell over. If he didn't know better, when he saw her eyes go to the back of her head, it seemed to be more than just the heat of the moment. Like she had a vision. He reached out and pulled her back to him. "Hey," he said. "What was that? Did you just have a vision?"
Scully opened her eyes, breathing heavily. "Oh God," she whispered breathlessly.
"Is that good-or?"
She hugged MULDER tightly. "I saw our son Fox..standing in a crowd in a hospital." Her skin was still on fire yet it was good to be pressed up against him like this. "I'm sorry Fox, I can't control when I get these." She looked up at him and smiled.
He was looking down at her, his fingers locked together on her lower back as he held her. "No need to be sorry Dana." He kissed the tip of her nose. "Are you ok though?" He was worried about her.
She giggled. "Yeah, I'm fine...we are fine" she leaned upwards and kissed him.
They got a call and had to head out to finish this case. It was taking longer then he'd had liked, yet he wouldn't regret his case for one minute.
Returning back to the room to pack. He looked over at her. "I'm gonna get some shut eye for a few more hours."
She looked over. "Ok, good to know." She smiled at her. She watched as he left the room and closed the door. She closed her eyes for a moment. She then smiled and walked forward and opened it. Surprised to see him there, at least glad he was thinking the same.
Scully and Mulder made love once more before leaving the hotel and fell asleep once again on the pull out sofa. She began to stir as she saw images of a hospital flash through her thoughts. This time she could see a tall, darked haired teenage boy...holding a baby wrapped in a pink blanket. "Scully?" she could hear Mulder's voice calling out to her. "Scully?" he called again. Scully shot up from the bed, not realizing the blanket that was the only thing covering her fell to her waist. "Jesus Mulder," she gasped. Mulder, who was already halfway dressed looked at her with concern. "Scully, check out is at 11am, we only have 15 minutes, we gotta go." She watched as his eyes traveled downward and pulled the blanket up over her. She should have felt more rested, but she had never felt more exhausted.
John had pulled over to a gas station so Will could grab some snacks about 3 hours later. John put in some more gas and turned to see Will had returned to the car. The dark haired teenager seemed to be resting against the outside of the car, taking deep breaths. "Will, are you okay?"
He turned to John and nodded. "Let's just go, okay?" John nodded with concern and got back into the car, looking over at Will in the passenger seat. Will looked back over at his Uncle. "I think...my mom is pregnant...or might be soon."
